As Newcastle United continues its search for a right winger, fans remain uncertain about who the club’s primary target will be.
While negotiations for Marc Guehi are ongoing, the lack of progress in securing a right winger is causing growing concern among supporters.
The situation wasn’t helped by Newcastle’s decision on Monday to reject a bid from MLS side Charlotte FC for Miguel Almiron, suggesting that the Paraguayan may stay at the club beyond the summer.
According to The Chronicle, Eddie Howe has informed Almiron that he wants him to stay and considers him part of his plans, which is encouraging news for some.
Newcastle Prepares a £17m Offer for Federico Chiesa
If Almiron remains, it seems unlikely that the club will pursue another winger, which could frustrate many fans.
However, a report from Italian outlet TuttoJuve claims that Newcastle is preparing to offer Juventus €20 million (£17 million) plus add-ons for Federico Chiesa, with a proposed salary of €7 million (£5.9 million) per year.
While this offer is reportedly lower than Chiesa’s demands, the player might be willing to compromise as his options dwindle.
Chiesa Becoming the New Bas Dost
Chiesa has been linked with Newcastle for some time, but it seems that if there was genuine interest, some progress would have been made by now.
Despite being hailed as a ‘superstar’ by the Italian media, many Newcastle fans remain skeptical.
One thing is clear: Chiesa would be an upgrade from Almiron, but it’s hard to see him joining Newcastle.
